World Record Makers

In this post I have given the details of some of the World Record Makers :

The world's shortest man, He Pingping, age 21, died in March 2010 after developing chest pains while filming a television show in Italy. Pingping suffered from primordial dwarfism, a condition which kept him from ever growing taller than 73 cm (2 feet 5 inches) tall.

Collected here are a group of superlatives, recent photos of world records and record attempts around the world.
